Damselfly Face Portraits

Taking extreme macro close ups of damselflies faces, is one of the things I most enjoy in the field.

1) Because they are hard to get – as they mostly fly off.

2) I love the expressions and poses they can make.

This selection I took between June and July 2019.

All images taken on a Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon MPE65mm 1-5x Macro Lens, flash lit by a twin macro flash.
